Randall Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 What's there to panic about? Were in the super bowl. Let me guess. How about Portis won't get enough carries at the goaline? What's Sellers doing in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpuma Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 My rbs situation is horrible. It was just posted that Bush is out this week. I also have Addai. I am thinking about picking up Choice and taking my chances with him against the ravens. I was also thinking about Foster againt st louis. I am waiting to see whats up with gore. Otherwise my 2 rbs will be J Stewart and L Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I should have started Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 In the finals in four leagues, and I'm already second-guessing myself (on who to start) in all of them... It's only going to get worse as the week goes on... By Sunday, I'll be ... I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of "game-time decisions" on my part. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoy using this site and it's rankings/projections as a tool each week, they're only going to add fuel to the fire of uncertainty this week.

Jrick35 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Why panic? You have made all of the decisions surrounding your fantasy team all year and look where it got you, the Championship BABY! So this is just another week. Just set your lineup and go. For instance, I will start Warner over Ryan as always, wait, Warner is outside in New England and Ryan is playing in a dome, what about weather? Nevermind moving on I will start Turner and Gore, wait, what if Gore is inactive, should I start Cadillac instead and hope for a td, or go with 3 wr's . No Gore will probably play but what if he tweaks that ankle after just one carry? Crap Ok WR Calvin Johnson is starting for sure now, Ward with him or Berrian, no wait Colston, yeah Colston & Johnson, crap how can I sit Ward, crap Ok moving on TE, Gates is in for sure but dang it Keller is facing the worst pass defense in the league should I sit Gates for Keller? Thanks man now I am panicking too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm in it to win it all. The prize is unbelievable. Not even going to say what is at stake so as to avoid jinx but when and if I win this thing you all will here the greatest prize in fantasy football that I could ever win. I hope so much to win I can't stand it. Good luck to all and I can't wait. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddfish2 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My panic this week comes from the unknown, fear of a serious toe injury on the first carry of the game sort of stuff. This may be the strongest fantasy team I've every rolled into the playoffs. It's the kind of team you love to have, but at the same time, who do you sit? I'm not asking for advice, this is not a WDIS hijack, it's purely hypothetical, but our league only plays 2 RB's and I've got Thomas Jones, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson & Pierre Thomas. Yes, there are more than 2 teams in the league. I'll be happy when 1:00PM ET rolls around on Sunday and I can't do any more about it, but sit back and root for my team.

pig devilz Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 i'm in a similar situation to baddfish, i have Slaton, PT Cruiser and Jacobs, playing the first 2. i scraped it together all year to get to this week knowing i had excellent match ups, now that i made it, the match ups just seem to good to be true....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go with the matchups or your "studs"? I know you're not technically asking for advice, but I'll put my two cents in anyway. I just can't see myself benching Peterson. That leaves one of the other three... As much as it would be hard to do, I'd probably sit Jones/Forte and go with Thomas. With Bush now out, I just don't see any risk with that play. Scoring is also a factor, although all of those three are fairly decent in PPR. Bottom line is you're probably going to have some decent points on your bench, no matter what direction you go. Hopefully, it's just not more than your starters' points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Of course, I'd rather have your scenario than mine... I need to choose my 2nd RB from C. Taylor, M. Moore, and D. Foster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it's just not more than your starters' points. It definitely feels like one of those "blessings" that could be a curse. Nice position to be in, and as long as I'm victorious, the points left on my bench won't bother me. I just don't want to be here on Monday talking about what could have been! I'm leaning Peterson / Thomas right now too, though I'll be monitoring this ankle situation of Peterson's the rest of the week. Here's a bonus, my opponent has Manning tonight, so if he has an average or below average night, my decisions become slightly easier to make, but if he blows up tonight ... the pressure mounts. Man I love this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local league had one team win the championship 5 years running using this strategy. During which time we moved from a 14 team league, to a 12 team keeper, then to a 10 team redraft ... and the strategy continued to work. He wasn't always the strongest regular season record, but he won when it mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddfish2 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Still a long ways to go, but I got "Manning'd" in 2 leagues. I got Manning'd in my main local league too ... everyone left, but not the start I hoped for from my opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
